She wanted to fly but her wings were broken,

She wanted to live but her hopes were  stolen.

She survived,

Lived a life full of lies,

Shattered her own heart while loving others.

Yet destiny' cruel games left her broken,

After a long time-

She found a little hope.

Lived her best moment,

Cherished the only miracle of her life.

And now she' again standing on the borderline of,

Quit or fight. 

-----------------------------------

Avni was tired after facing the endless problems, her destiny always throws in her way. Why can't she live a normal life with her happy family? Since childhood, everyone is against her happiness. What has she done to deserve a life like this? All these questions were running in her mind while her almost numb legs were dragging her tired self towards the only place where she finds her peace, her home. She never imagined that the only man who will act as the father figure in her life would be her father-in-law, he was always there for her when everyone was against her. He loves her like his own daughter, cares for her, supports her. She's lucky to have two amazing men in her life one in the form of a perfect father while the other one is in the form of an adorable soulmate. For protecting her family she can sacrifice her own life but why life always demands her sacrifice for other's peace? Why everyone tries to snatch her happy family? This is the only thing she craves since childhood and now a devil in the form of Vidyut is after her father who is innocent yet she can't prove his innocence in front of anyone. 

She went inside Khanna's mansion and saw that everyone was doing preparations for the small ceremony taking place after her mother's demise. She silently went inside her room and burst into tears revealing all the raw emotions hidden beneath her skin, letting her tears explain the intensity of frustration she's facing. She can't do this anymore, she can't leave her only source of contentment, her family but their happiness depends upon her sacrifice. If she will act selfishly then her family will be shattered. She curled within herself and sobbed continuously. Why me? the only question her brain is screaming while her heart was broken badly. The darkness surrounding the room was scaring her, it resembled with her dark life. Even your shadow leaves you in darkness so how can you expect a faint ray of hope to enlighten you when your entire destiny is carved in gloominess. 

Avni - Why me? Why everyone is after my family? Why no one can let me live in peace? I can't lose my happy family. I can't. ( crying ) Why I can't find a ray of light in my dark life? 

She buried her face into her palms and remembered all her moments with her family. 

No one will snatch your happy family Avni. 

A voice came from somewhere conveying her that she wasn't alone in the room. She lifts her head and saw Neil standing at the doorstep of the room with teary eyes. Avni gasps and rubbed away her tears. Neil closes the door and switched on the lights making her close her eyes due to sudden brightness. 

Neil sat beside her on the floor and pulls her into his arms. Avni's tensed body immediately relaxed under his warm touch while Neil tightens his hold around her telling her that he won't let her go away. Avni pulls him closer while he kissed her head. 

Avni - I'm tired, Neil. ( whimpers ) I don't want to live anymore. 

Neil - Avni, do you even understand what are you saying? (little anger) 

Avni - I'm fed up now, I don't want to sacrifice my happiness. I'm also a human, even I have emotions but my destiny always gives me two choices either my happiness or my family's happiness. I'm tired of choosing Neil, I'm tired. ( crying ) 

Neil - You are a fighter Avni, you can't think of giving up. You are not alone Avni, I'm always with you. 

He breaks the hug and cups her tear-stained face. 

Neil - Whenever you will feel tired, I will give you strength. We will face every challenge together, we won't allow our problems to destroy our happiness. We deserve to be happy Avni and we won't allow anyone to snatch our peace. All we need to have is trust. Trust me Avni, trust us, we are not cowards, we are survivors with determined hopes. You are a survivor, you can't give up like this. 

He kisses her forehead and rubs her tears. 

Avni - Dayavanti was right Neil, I'm bad luck due to me everyone suffers. ( chocked voice ) 

Neil - You are a blessing Avni, you have blessed my life with love. 

He joins his forehead with hers and closes his eyes. She also closes her eyes and feels his presence. 

Neil - You are my everything, my everything. 

After a few minutes, he looked in her eyes. 

Neil - What happened Avni? Tell me everything. 

Avni hesitates a bit, Neil holds her hand and kisses her knuckles softly. 

Neil - If you won't tell me then how will we find the solution Avni. Trust your love for me. We will fight together and defeat all the dangers lingering around us. 

Avni told him everything, how Vidyut drugged Prakash, and ordered him to kill Neela. Under the influence of drug Prakash obeyed his command and now Vidyut is blackmailing Avni with the video and is forcing her to marry him. Neil's blood boils after listening about the dirty game Vidyut played with them. 

Avni - For saving papa Ji I have to leave this family... ( Neil cuts her off )

Neil - You won't Avni, we have faced enough separations but now we won't allow anyone to mess up with our life. 

Avni - But Neil... ( Neil cuts her off ) 

Neil - Do you trust me? 

Avni - Neil...

Neil - Do you trust me Avni? 

Avni nods positively. 

Neil - We will get through this, its a promise. 

Avni hugs him tightly and he hugged her back. 

Avni - We will fight for our family Neil. 

Neil - That's like my lady.

---------------------------------------

The only thing they needed was each other's trust and determination to fight for their love.
